Couples-Only All-Inclusive Retreat in the Heart of the Poconos

Paradise Stream is nestled amid the forests, lakes, and peaks of the Pocono Mountains in northeastern Pennsylvania. In the 1960s there was a flood of publicity for the area that resulted in the Poconos being named the “Honeymoon Capital of the World.” Paradise Stream still maintains that romantic feel; it’s a couples-only resort, and many guest rooms still have the heart-shaped tubs that made the resort famous.

Paradise Stream is one of three sister resorts in the area, along with Cove Haven and Pocono Palace. Guests at any of the three get unlimited access to each facility through the resorts’ Key Around Club. In the summer months, guests paddleboat at Paradise Stream, play racquetball on the court at Cove Haven, or enjoy a round of golf on the nine-hole course at Pocono Palace (a nominal fee is required for golf). Paradise Stream’s nightclub also has nightly entertainment and dancing. During the winter months, snowmobiling and snow tubing are available.

Among other designs, some of the resort’s rooms feature iconic heart-shaped whirlpool baths for two and contemporary designs with lots of red and gold accents. Perhaps the most ornately styled of them all is the Champagne Tower suite, a four-level flat with a 7-foot-tall whirlpool tub shaped like a champagne glass, a heated heart-shaped pool enclosed in glass, and a dry sauna.

In the morning, head to Paradise Stream’s onsite restaurant, which has a full breakfast buffet. The restaurant also has a dinner menu that changes each day as well as theme nights on the weekends, including an international buffet.

The Poconos is a picturesque mountain region located in Pennsylvania’s northeast corner. It draws nearly 24 million annual visitors thanks to its stunning natural beauty and year-round recreational opportunities, from skiing and ice-fishing in the winter to golfing and whitewater rafting when it’s warm.

There are a variety of nearby attractions that showcase the diverse entertainment options in the area. Mount Airy Casino Resort, located just 5 miles from the hotel, features 72 tables that include casino classics such as poker and blackjack and newer games such as Let it Ride and pai gow.

This area is also home to a handful of quaint little towns where guests and locals browse antique shops and art galleries. You'll also find boutique wine galleries and historical mansions tucked away on country roads. Also nearby, The Crossings Premium Outlets has more than 100 stores to peruse, including J. Crew, Forever 21, and Nine West.
